Interest, In Its Relation To Pedagogy (1899) - Hardcover

Interest, In Its Relation To Pedagogy is a book written by Wilhelm Ostermann in 1899. The book explores the concept of interest and its significance in the field of education. Ostermann argues that interest is a key factor in motivating students to learn and that it is the teacher's responsibility to cultivate and sustain their students' interest in the subject matter. The book is divided into three main parts. The first part provides an overview of the history of interest and its development as a psychological concept. The second part examines the role of interest in education and the ways in which it can be fostered in students. Ostermann also discusses the importance of individual differences in interests and how teachers can adapt their teaching methods to accommodate these differences. The final part of the book focuses on the practical application of interest in the classroom. Ostermann provides examples of how teachers can use interest to create engaging and effective lessons and activities. He also discusses the potential pitfalls of relying too heavily on interest and suggests ways to balance it with other important factors such as discipline and rigor. Overall, Interest, In Its Relation To Pedagogy is a seminal work on the role of interest in education. It remains relevant today as educators continue to explore ways to engage and motivate students in the classroom.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
